FORT FAIRFIELD, Maine — Officials with the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency say that an abandoned motor home found in Fort Fairfield three months ago was not being used to manufacture drugs, but agents believe that equipment and materials found in the facility were being used to smoke bath salts.
Darrell Crandall, MDEA division commander, said on Thursday that agents found devices and other materials that were being used to smoke synthetic cathinones, commonly known as bath salts — designer drugs that can cause paranoia, convulsions and psychotic behavior. According to the American Association of Poison Control Centers, bath salts with names such as Ivory Snow, Red Dove, Bliss, Hurricane Charlie and Vanilla Sky can be snorted, smoked or injected.
The owner of the motor home, 32-year old Ryan Ellis of Bangor, is currently incarcerated on charges of possession of synthetic hallucinogenic drugs and was in jail when the motor home was searched. He has not been charged in connection with the Fort Fairfield case.
A cache of drugs was found in the motor home in November after it was left in the parking lot of a local business. Police have not released any information about what drugs were found in the motor home.
The Fort Fairfield Police Department did report finding items the officers suspected may have been used to manufacture illegal drugs. They called MDEA agents, who secured a search warrant to investigate further.
Agents and chemists seized a number of items, which were analyzed at the Health and Environmental Testing Laboratory in Augusta.
I bet that thing didn’t even have a tub.
I prefer a shower.
It wasn’t a dumpy RV, from what I hear ;)
Just sayin…thats the funniest comment I’ve read here in a long time …stay thirsty my friend…
An abandoned motor home is not a “facility”. What a waste of time and money.
Facility, n: Space or equipment necessary for doing something: cooking |camping, picnicking…
Context, n: The parts of a written or spoken statement that precede or follow a specific word or passage, usually influencing its meaning or effect: You have misinterpreted my remark because you took it out of context.
I don’t get your reply. Your first sentence was very plain and not easy to misinterpret or to take anything out of context.
Maybe, instead of giving me the obvious definition of a word, you could take the time to elaborate on just what ‘ context’ you’re going on about. I didn’t think either word needed to be defined, in any context….
I’m shocked.
Everyone’s idea of a “Recreational Vehicle” is not the same.
Let them go back in. Lock the door and let them take their bath salts. The paranoia and confined space may scare them straight.
ITs a mobil crack house ! what a novel idea !
Yawn, more tax dollars down the drain. Why don’t we use some of these tax dollars to solve some murders in the county? We shouldn’t be wasting so much resources on the uneducated part of out population.
WOW! surprised none stole what drugs were left there, knowing he was in jail. But yet they break into people’s homes , and threaten their lives for their prescription meds.
